I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Not that it made a difference to anyone; on second thoughts, yes, it did. Ask my wife. She would tell you how difficult I have been today to put up with. I have not been able to put my finger on the reason for this feeling. I have been grumpy for the whole day. Restless, walking up and down, gorging on food, shifting base, repeatedly, across the only 2 rooms available at home! It is a bit of a paradoxical situation with me; I just love to stay at home and basically do nothing over the weekends. But, keep me locked up for the whole day at home and you get a good concoction of the kind of person I have been today. Simply put, you don’t want to be near me today. On days like this, I need to get out and get some fresh air. Well, that is exactly what I did a few minutes ago. I went out for a long walk; and there is no better time for a ‘introspective walk’, if I can call it that, than a Sunday evening. All the shops are closed, the streets are empty as if there has been a curfew imposed on the town, the only shops open are the Chinese and Indian shops selling take aways or the burger and pizza outlets. Basically, you don’t have to put too much thought into mundane yet critical things like looking right and left before crossing a street. You can walk across with your eyes closed and yet be alive! Well, I managed to be alive after that blind trick; So, did I manage to get something out of the walk. Sure I did. My mind is clear as still water now. There is only one thing I want now. A BURGER. Ha! Life is unconditionally simplified now, to say the least.
